Look Out for Them.

1t is getting near the time when the
bogus agricultural papers begin to send
out their circulars of lottery and other
fraudulent schemes for deceiving the
unsuspecting, and at the same time
offering to throw in a years subscrip-
ton to the periodical for nominal
sum. Our postal authorities here in
New York are SO watchful that these
swindlers can not use the mails. Hith-
erto the postal officials of other cities
have seemingly not been able to sue
cessfully cope with them, and they
have carried on their operations with
notably in Chicago and Gin
cinnati. A few months since the post
master of Chicago inaugurated war
upon these swindlers. which, let US
hope, will be continued during the
coming winter and autumn. These
publishers of bogus agricultural
which generally are issued
long enough to secure the victims
money, have coined fortunes out of
the unsuspecting by their various
schemes. and it is time that they were
all of them jailed. America Agricult

NUTRITIOUS HAY.
The Secret OF Keeping Intact All the
Valuable Elements of Grass

Tho Secret OF Keeping Intact All the
Valuable Elements of Grass.
To make hay SO as to retain all the
good qualities and nutriment of the
grass, the grass, or clover, or any 9TH
er fodder crop. must be cut when it is
in its first stage of poisoning. 1t
then contains the most of the valuable
nutritious elements, and the least Of
the indigestible matter. And to pre-
serve these nutritious elements from
loss, the grass must be cured in the
shade, without exposure to the suns
light and heat, and dried by some
heating process. In England the very
best of hay is made by drying the
newly-cut grass by artificial heat, in
machine constructed for the purpose.
The grass or clover is cut and dried ut
once, and retains its bright green color.
its fragrant odor-given out by the es-
sential oils contained in the grass, and
which are absorbed directly into
the cows system, pass into the
milk, and 60 into the cream and but
ter-and its contents of starch, gum,
and sugar. With our favorable cli-
mate, we do not need this drying ap-
paratus; we can gain the same ends
without it. We cut the young grass,
or clover. and leaving it on the ground
few hours only. to get rid OF the
outer moisture, and wilt it thoroughly;
then put it up in heaps, or cocks. and
cover it with hay caps, made Of squares
of strong cotton sheeting, fffty-four
inches wide; leave it to ferment and
heat slightly. which it does naturally.
This heat drives off the moisture, and
cooks-so to speak-to some extent
the woody fiber, and changes it into
starch, and gum. and sugar. and
makes it easily digestible and nutri-
ious. And if it does not actually pro-
duce these changes. it prepares the
fiber for digestion in the stomach Of
the COW, 50 that it can there undergo
the changes by which it is converted
into the sugar of the milk and the fat
of the cream.-American Agricultural

The health of farmers would be
greatly promoted by doubling the con-

An economical substitute for but
ter can be made by melting piece Of
nice fat pork and straining it through
a fine sieve or cloth into jars. When
cool. use it instead of butter. Another
good substitute is beef suet, either
tried out with lard or mixed with
equal parts of lard when done. Some
persons use the suet alone.-N. T. o.

Snow Balls.-Two cups sugar, one
and half cups butter. one cup sweet
milk, three cups flour. three teaspoon
fuls baking powder, whites of five
eggs. Bake in deep square pans. Tho

Grease of any kind will destroy
lice upon cattle, but the use of grease
to a great extent will injure the cattle.
If 4 single animal be infested with lice
all the others will soon be in the same
condition. A pound of carbonate or
lime mixed with a bushel of fine. dry
dirt freely scattered on the backs Of
the animals is harmless remedy, and
will prove successful if used daily.

Friedrich Froebel founded the first

for similar institutions in many parts
of Germany and other countries. The
name means child's garden or child's

regarded as dangerous, from the great
freedom allowed children. and in 1851
a kindergarten established by his
nephew was closed by the Prussian
Government Ph,Iadelphid Press.
